The people in the neighborhood wanted a bridge over the creek. The city had no funding for #PedestrianInfrastructure for something like that. But they did get an #art grant, so they hired an artist to create an art installation that would span the creek that people could walk on. I frequently walk my dogs along this creek and yes, over the bridge sometimes.

The piece is called Drift and is intended to evoke a piece of driftwood. When it was brand new it had a very nice finish which has quickly faded (as intended... to make it look like driftwood). Some people have complained about that, but I like it personally. The planks are cedar and the bridge has an aromatic smell to it.
@Doohickie It looks a bit like a ship hull. I prefer the fade to some artificial looking stain, it blends in nicely.
@BobWilliams I tried referring to it as "Paul Bunyan's Canoe" but it didn't catch on.
@Doohickie It totally fits!
